Interferons in Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injury: Current Evidence for Translational Application.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Recent studies indicate excitatory GABA action in and around tubers in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). This may contribute to recurrent seizures and behavioral problems that may be treated by agents that enhance GABAergic transmission by influencing chloride regulation. CASE PRESENTATION:Her...
